Capabilities

How pilots use it

Portable ADS-B In

Traffic and weather to the portable or tablet when you want In without opening the panel — separate from a certified GTX Out install.

Not a compliance path for Out

ADS-B Out still requires an approved transponder/position source install (e.g. GTX 345 or GNX 375). The GDL 52 is receive-only.

Pairs with Garmin aviation portables

Designed to feed compatible aera units and Garmin aviation apps — confirm the exact pairing on the quote.

Typical install notes

  • ADS-B In only — does not provide ADS-B Out compliance.
  • Dual-band reception for traffic and weather products where available.
  • Requires a compatible display or app and typically a subscription for weather products.
  • Battery, mounts, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi pairing are confirmed at delivery.

Paired with aera or other compatible Garmin aviation displays/apps when the aircraft already has ADS-B Out (or is not yet Out-compliant) and the pilot wants portable In.
